Vodacom refuse to repair iPhone 5SE

I booked my iPhone 5SE in for repair at Vodacom at Tygervalley. However, they say that they WILL NOT repair it as it was bought in the UAE! I was working in the UAE when I bought it, so it is not a grey import into SA

The Vodacom call centre says that because I did not buy my phone from a SA service provider (such as Vodacom), your policy says that you will not undertake a repair on it

The Vodacom terms and conditions for repairs (available on the web) does NOT state this restriction/policy

Vodacom still say they will only repair a phone sold in SA as it has a 2 year warranty. Even though my phone is 3 years old and I am paying myself they still follow this policy. Vodacom repair centre need to change their advertising!
